        Vitamin D

        The healing power of the sunshine vitamin

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick

        Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

        Gedichte

        by Nelly Sachs, Hilde Domin, Hilde Domin

        1891 wurde Nelly Sachs in Berlin geboren, sie starb 1970 in Stockholm. 1966 wurde ihr der Nobelpreis verliehen. »Unter Schmerzen zu altern«, schrieb Olof Lagercrantz in seinem Nachruf, »und zu zerschellen am Übermaß an Leid, wird eine Erfahrung für immer mehr Menschen. Nelly Sachs gehört zu den Dichtern, die wir in der Zukunft am allermeisten brauchen.«Dieser Wahrheit eingedenk, hat Hilde Domin eine Auswahl aus dem lyrischen Gesamtwerk der Nelly Sachs getroffen. Von der Kraft ihres Gedichts sprach sie vor einem Jahrzehnt schon: »Deine Dichtung erhält das Unheil lebendig … Und zugleich erlöst Du von dem Unheil. Wir die Dichter von jeher und für die Zeiten den Schrecken und zugleich die Katharsis des Schreckens mit sich brachten.«

        Salzburger Bachmann Edition

        »über Grenzen sprechend«. Die Briefwechsel

        by Ingeborg Bachmann, Hilde Domin, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Nelly Sachs, Barbara Agnese, Hans Höller

        Ingeborg Bachmann stand mit zentralen Protagonistinnen der deutschsprachigen Literatur in Kontakt. Ihre Briefwechsel mit Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Hilde Domin und Nelly Sachs, die hier erstmals zugänglich gemacht werden, geben einen eindrucksvollen Einblick in die Lebensbedingungen, das literarische Schaffen, die Poetik und das politische Engagement schreibender Frauen nach 1945. Über Generationen und Grenzen hinweg entstehen zwischen den Briefpartnerinnen unterschiedliche Beziehungen: die in Rom beginnende Freundschaft Bachmanns mit Marie Luise Kaschnitz, die pragmatische Zusammenarbeit mit Hilde Domin und das lyrische Gespräch mit Nelly Sachs. Gemeinsam ist den Briefwechseln vor allem die Frage, wie nach der Shoah weitergelebt und weitergeschrieben werden kann. Der Kommentar erläutert die Briefe vor dem Hintergrund von Zeitgeschichte und Literaturbetrieb und versucht, von heute aus, die Werke dieser Autorinnen miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen.

        District D

        by Artem Chekh

        District D is a collection of stories united through a common time period and location, from which gradually emerges a portrait of the author against the backdrop of “other shores,” on which his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood passed. The book paints a self-critical portrait of the author in which one can discern the features of husbandry and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and magnanimity, and much else. Simultaneously, it paints a group portrait of a few dozen more or less registered residents of the aforementioned Cherkasy district with their more or less successful attempts at surviving the unexpected transition from post-soviet to newly independent Ukraine. According to the author, District D served as therapy for his own traumatic experiences because he wrote it while serving in the war: “I would write it out of me and would feel better; I escaped from that war and those experiences into writing.”
